#MetroBeautyWatch: The Most Stunning Makeup Looks From Miss Universe 2019
These gorgeous makeup looks stole the show at the Miss Universe pageant!
The 2019 Miss Universe pageant broadcasted live in Atlanta, Georgia USA today, and once again, we saw some of the most stunning women from all over the world conquer the most recognizable pageant stage. A new queen has emerged the most confidently beautiful—we finally met our newest Miss Universe from South Africa, Zozibini Tunzi.
At every pageant, one thing is always certain: things are never easy. Yet under bright stage lights and high definition cameras, it is without a doubt that this year’s candidates looked nothing but flawless especially when it comes to their hair and makeup looks. And you guessed right—we kept tabs on the breathtaking eyes, lips, cheeks so you can get your dose of beauty #inspo!
Makeup may be the last step in preparing for the stage, but pageant makeup is just as key as picking out the gowns. It is vital for a pageant hopeful to know exactly what kind of makeup style will work to her advantage!
But unlike our normal day-to-day makeup, pageant makeup has more layers to offset stage lighting and flash photography. Creating a bold base that is designed for long-wear is absolutely critical, as well as setting your face with translucent powder to ensure your skin does not shine (the bad kind) on stage. Contouring is also important as it helps give the face a chiseled look under the bright stage lights. And of course, the choice of eyeshadow, blush and long-staying lip color need to be selected properly as it should go well with the outfit.
For more makeup inspiration and beauty tips, in the gallery below, we compiled the best beauty looks from this year’s Miss Universe candidates. And yes, we included our very own Gazini Ganados’ peachy eyes, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray’s sultry brown smoky eyes and our new reigning Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi’s subtle gold eyes paired with glossy lips. Enjoy the beauty fix, METRO ladies!
Miss Philippines Gazini Ganados
Looks like the peach eyeshadow trend isn’t going anywhere! Miss Universe Philippines Gazini wore this makeup trend at the pageant, and we say, it’s definitely a refreshing break from predictable eye makeup hues like brown, burgundy and black.

Miss Iceland Birta Abiba
Miss Iceland won the hearts of many Filipinos today as she drew comparison to our very own Liza Soberano. But more than that, her fresh makeup of pink hues and glowing skin proved that not all pageant looks should be heavy and bold.

Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi
Gold is a royal color which makes eyes pop. Take it from the newly crowned Miss Universe Zozibini, who incorporated this gorgeous color on her eyes. It is the ultimate go-to look if you really want to stand out in a crowd.

Miss Mexico Sofia Aragon
Still, nothing can beat the power of a bright, fiery red lipstick during pageants! No wonder Miss Mexico has one of the most memorable makeup moments during the show.

Miss Thailand Paweensuda Drouin
One of the pageant fan favorites this year, who also made it to the Top 10, is Miss Thailand. Her look during the show proved that a smoky eye and red lip can work perfectly together, despite what pros often say. Truly cop-worthy!

Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray
You can’t go wrong with a classic brown smoky eye. Catriona once again took this makeup route—a touch of subtler and softer than black smoky eye paired with a nude lip. No doubt, it added a touch of glamour to her equally stunning Mak Tumang gown.
